A Young Lady Bitten by Puppy
Dies from HydrophobIR.

A st. Louis dispatch Of the 2lst
instant chronicles the following sad
death: The death irsm hydrophobia
Of daughter of Louis Grand, ex-
Chairman of the Republican City
Committee, and a prominent quarry
man and contractor, is roportod 10
the Coroner to-day. Barbara Eliza
beth Grand, l6 years old, some time
ago was playing with a young puppy
two months old, when it bit her. The
wound was not serious, and as the
dog, so far As known, had never been
out of the house since the day of its
birth, and never been with other dogs,
nothing was thought of it. About
eight days ago, however, the young
lady began to show symptoms of the
dread dissase, and two physicians
were called in. Their efforts to re-
lieve her sufferugs were of NO avail,
and she rapidly grew worse until
yesterday, when she died in great
agony.

IN darkness. La the summer he gees
INTO the mine just as the sun is rising
and comes Out just as it is setting. In
winter he rarely sees daylight at all.
Il is often so wet in the gallery that
his clothes are soaked from morning

three or four feet thick, and he must
work in a sitting or reclining position.

How to Exterminate the Destructive Worm
Which Cause 1t.

How to Exterminate the Destructive Worm
Which Cause 1t.
The cause of scab in potatoes is still
subject for dispute, and various theo-
ries are propounded. apparently with
intent to escape any admission of the
fact that it is II simple matter, and to
prove that it is the work of some germ
or microbe, which it is now fashionable
to believe is ut the bottom of all the
mischief done in the world. Some years
ago the writer carefully investigated it,
and found, in his case at tleast, the wire
worm, not the elater larva, which is so
called, but myriopod, known as iulus,
did the mischief. This animal-it is not
an insect-gnaws the skin of the potato
with its teeth and wounds the tender
cuticle, which then throws out new
matter and forms scab over the
wounds. The skin of the potato only is
wounded, the flesh is not eaten into,
and, as with animal tissue, the wound
ed skin is soon scabhed over, while the
deeper wounds remain open because the
skin is wholly destroyed. Thus the
wounds made by the white grub are deep
and wide, and the substance of the
potato being eaten away no scabs are
formed, because the scabs are really IL
thickened growth of the skin, callous,
rs it may be termed, which grows from
the skin or bark of plant cuttings. 1t
is about five years since we described
how artificial scabs may be formed by
wounding the skin of half-grown pota-
toes with the point of needle, and how
clean, perfect potatoes. were scabbcd
when placed in jar of earth with
number of the wire worms.
Now it is alleged that earth worms
do the mischief because scabby pota-
toes have been found in rich vegetable
soil where these worms abound. But
this is precisely the soil where
the wire worms abound and in
which scabby potatoes are most
abundant. A complete immunity
from these pests and from scab
may be secured by growing potatoes in
soil which has not been manured or
pastured for some years, and is ma
nured only by artificial fertilizers. An
esteemed contemporary once ungener-
ously charged that this statement was
made with intent to boost up some
special kinds of fertilizer; but better
proof to the contrary can not be given
than to say that any mineral fertilizer
will have this result, by Offering no in
ducements to the wire worms, but
rather repelling them by the strong
pungent odor and poisonous qualities.
We have entirely avoided the damage
in this way, and by dipping the ssts ia
q mixture of one part Paris green with
fifty parts OF plaster, thoroughly well
blended.-M T. Times.

FUEL oE The FUTURE.
Interesting Experiment. Made by an In
vcntivs Hoosier Genius.


Some political economists, in antici-
patton Of the prospective cx-
haustion of the English coal mines.
have computed the time when their
supply of coal will give out, and Eng
lands great industries be prostrated.
The resources of the coal mines in this
country are on vaster scale and less
easily drained, but the economists are
sure that the end must come, and may
bring with ii u result as disastrous rs
the ultimate cooling of the suns heat,
predicted by some astronomers. Long
before such time of dcarth we may
be tolerably sure that some substitute
for coal will be discovered, for the
providential government of the human
race will not fail
An inventive genius in Pocahontas,
Ind. has already shown what may be
done in an emergency. He has proved
by experiment that fuel cheaper than
coal can be furnished in the West. He
grinds together cornstalks and coarse
prairie grass, and moistens them with
water. When this compound has been
reduced to pulp, he presses it into
blocks twelve inches long and four
inches thick. When these are thor
oughly dried, they burn readily, give
out greater heat, and last twice rs long
as the same amount of soft coal. The
inventor claims that this fuel can be
easily prepared at IL cost of two dollars
ton. If the experiment succeeds, it
is possible that Western manufacturers,
by cheapncss of fuel, may supplant
their Eastern rivals. for in this age
capital and labor will go where fuel is
cheap. YOUTHS Companion.

Some OF the III Effects OF Uorsct- wearing
aud Tight Lacine.


The girl Of the period seems to be a
trifle more sensible than her sister Of
the last decade. Her boots are not quite
as pointed at the toe, and their heels are
not as distinctively "French." She does
not rs a'nbitiously emulate the camel,
in the wearing OF hump upon her back,
and she has discarded the ''rats" and
cushions which erst were wont to make
her coiifure into the semblance of pillows
and holsters. Unfortunately, howeve r,
she does not yet realizs that beauty is
inconsistent with pinched waist. Adj

BILE capacity rs an insect, there seems to
be no legitimate reason for u young
woman's modelling herself upon his
figure; but the young woman insists up
on doing so. She is wont to express
the most fervent admiration for the
Venus of Milo; but even at the moment
when she stands rapt in contemplation
of the grand creature, she finds it diff
6cult to draw full breath, so tightly
enclosed is she in corsets.
Napoleon L., who had as much COM
mon sense as military ability, was dis
mayed at tho revival of the corset in
1872 He said to an eminent physician,
in regard to it: "This wear,. born of

He pointed to cord bound tightly

you have not the courage to resist this
dangerous fashion,"
Said the last King of France, in an
epigram which should have stung his
subjects into common sense 'Once
you met Dianas, Venuses or Niobes;
nowadays, only wasps.'

really attained true loveliness but
when she attempts to improve upon

A venturesome Apline Climber Drops Down
A Fearful Precipice.


Fearful Precipice.
We were fortunate in finding for COM
pany at table the officers of an Alpine
regiment. These Campagnie Alpine are
branch of the service of which Italy is
Justly proud. The men are chosen from
the Alpine townships and are magifi-
cent set of troops, splcndid!y trained to
their business, which is the protection
of the Italian frontier. In winter they
are cantoned in the large towns ut the
foot of the Alps, Belluno, Conegliano,
Verona; but the summer months they
spend camping out among the noun
tains, studying the lie of the valleys and
getting the various paths across the
mountains by heart. Their duty takes
them into wild places, and many were
the stories of adventure that the Cap
tain had to tell. One in particular
struck our fancy. The Captain was with
his company ut Agordo, and wished to
take his men for march round
the Pale di San Luciano. At the
inn he offered thirty francs for a
guide. but no one would close with
the offer, the difficulty of the walk
being we'll known. While the discus
sion was going on. in came tall young
fellow famous for the airs he gave HIM
self. Hearing what was on foot, he
turned to the Captain and said "Signor
Capitano. will take your offer; but,
mind you, where 60 none of your
men will follow me-" This challenge
put the Captain on his mettle. Select
ing thirty of his best men, he started
the next morning with his guide. The
young fellow led him up and up. pur-
posely missing the true path, until he
and the thirty-one soldiers behind him
were clinging to the sheer precipices Of
San Luciano; then he turned and said:
"Signor Capitano, have missed the
way. Tell your men to 60 back. l
will go on across this place and meet
you lower down" The Captain, in II
rage, gave the order to GO back, and
the soldiers began feeling their way
backward along the cliff, not daring to
turn round. The guido set off by HIM
self, but he had not taken two steps
when rock ON which he laid his hold
gave way and he fell. The soldiers
turned pale as death, but the Captain
said: Sergeant, you saw him fall; go
down and fetch him." and the sergeant
did. When he got to the foot of the
cliffs he found the mangled body of tho
guide, whose own words had come 10
true; "Where ! go none of your mon
